BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is directed to peptide analogues of glucagon-like peptide-1, the pharmaceutically-acceptable salts thereof, to methods of using such analogues to treat mammals and to pharmaceutical compositions useful therefor comprising said analogues.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (7-36) amide (GLP-1) (SEQ ID NO:1) is synthesized in the intestinal L-cells by tissue-specific post-translational processing of the glucagon precursor preproglucagon (Varndell, J. M., et al., J. Histochem Cytochem, 1985:33:1080-6) and is released into the circulation in response to a meal. The plasma concentration of GLP-1 rises from a fasting level of approximately 0.15 μmol/L to a peak postprandial level of 40 μmol/L. It has been demonstrated that, for a given rise in plasma glucose concentration, the increase in plasma insulin is approximately threefold greater when glucose is administered orally compared with intravenously (Kreymann, D., et al., Lancet 1987:2, 1300-4). This alimentary enhancement of insulin release, known as the incretin effect, is primarily humoral and GLP-1 is now thought to be the most potent physiological incretin in humans. In addition to the insulinotropic effect. GLP-1 suppresses glucagon secretion, delays gastric emptying (Wettergren A., et al. Dig Dis Sci 1993:38:665-73) and may enhance peripheral glucose disposal (D'Alessio, D. A. et al., J. Clin Invest 1994:93:2293-6).

In 1994, the therapeutic potential of GLP-1 was suggested following the observation that a single subcutaneous (s/c) dose of GLP-1 could completely normalize postprandial glucose levels in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) (Gutniak, M. K. et al. Diabetes Care 1994:17:1039-44). This effect was thought to be mediated both by increased insulin release and by a reduction in glucagon secretion. Furthermore, an intravenous infusion of GLP-1 has been shown to delay postprandial gastric emptying in patients with NIDDM (Williams, B. et al. J. Clin Endo Metab 1996:81:327-32). Unlike sulphonylureas, the insulinotropic action of GLP-1 is dependent on plasma glucose concentration (Holz, G. G. 4^(th), et al., Nature 1993:361:362-5). Thus, the loss of GLP-1-mediated insulin release at low plasma glucose concentration protects against severe hypoglycemia. This combination of actions gives GLP-1 unique potential therapeutic advantages over other agents currently used to treat NIDDM.

Numerous studies have shown that when given to healthy subjects. GLP-1 potently influences glycemic levels as well as insulin and glucagon concentrations (Orskov, C, Diabetologia 35:701-711, 1992; Hoist, J. J., et al., Potential of GLP-1 in diabetes management in Glucagon III, Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology, Lefevbre P J, Ed. Berlin, Springer Verlag, 1996, p. 331-326), effects which are glucose dependent (Kreymann, B., et al. Lancet ii: 1300-1304, 1987; Weir, G. C., et al., Diabetes 38:338-342, 1989). Moreover, it is also effective in patients with diabetes (Gutniak, M., N. Engl J Med 226:1316-1322, 1992; Nathan, D. M., et al. Diabetes Care 15:270-276, 1992), normalizing blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetic subjects (Nauck, M. A., et al., Diagbetologia 36:741-744, 1993), and improving glycemic control in type 1 patients (Creutzfeldt, W. O., et al., Diabetes Care 19:580-586, 1996), raising the possibility of its use as a therapeutic agent.

GLP-1 is, however, metabolically unstable, having a plasma half-life of only 1-2 min in vivo. Exogenously administered GLP-1 is also rapidly degraded (Deacon, C. F., et al., Diabetes 44:1126-1131, 1995). This metabolic instability limits the therapeutic potential of native GLP-1. Hence, there is a need for GLP-1 analogues that are more active or are more metabolically stable than native GLP-1.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The peptides of this invention can be prepared by standard solid phase peptide synthesis. See, e.g., Stewart, J. M., et al., Solid Phase Synthesis (Pierce Chemical Co., 2d ed. 1984). The substituents R² and R³ of the above generic formula may be attached to the free amine of the N-terminal amino acid by standard methods known in the art. For example, alkyl groups, e.g., (C₁-C₃₀)alkyl, may be attached using reductive alkylation. Hydroxylalkyl groups, e.g., (C₁-C₃₀)hydroxyalkyl, may also be attached using reductive alkylation wherein the free hydroxy group is protected with a t-butyl ester. Acyl groups, e.g., COE¹, may be attached by coupling the free acid, e.g., E¹COOH, to the free amine of the N-terminal amino acid by mixing the completed resin with 3 molar equivalents of both the free acid and diisopropylcarbodiimide in methylene chloride for one hour. If the free acid contains a free hydroxy group, e.g., β-hydroxyphenylpropionic acid, then the coupling should be performed with an additional 3 molar equivalents of HOBT.

When R¹ is NH—X²—CH₂—CONH₂, (i.e., Z⁰=CONH₂), the synthesis of the peptide starts with Boc-HN—X²—CH₂—COOH which is coupled to the MBHA resin. If R¹ is NH—X²—CH₂—COOH, (i.e., Z⁰=COOH) the synthesis of the peptide starts with Boc-HN—X²—CH₂—COOH which is coupled to the PAM resin. For this particular step, 4 molar equivalents of Boc-HN—X²—COOH, HBTU and HOBt and 10 molar equivalents of DIEA are used. Tine coupling time is about 8 hours.

The protected amino acid 1-(N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-amino)-1-cyclohexane-carboxylic acid (Boc-A6c-OH) was synthesized as follows. 19.1 g (0.133 mol) of 1-amino-1-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid (Acros Organics, Fisher Scientific. Pittsburgh, Pa.) was dissolved in 200 ml of dioxane and 100 ml of water. To it was added 67 ml of 2N NaOH. The solution was cooled in an ice-water bath. 32.0 g (0.147 mol) of di-tert-butyl-dicarbonate was added to this solution. The reaction mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. Dioxane was then removed under reduced pressure. 200 ml of ethyl acetate was added to the remaining aqueous solution. The mixture was cooled in an ice-water bath. The pH of the aqueous later was adjusted to about 3 by adding 4N HCl. The organic layer was separated. The aqueous later was extracted with ethyl acetate (1×100 ml). The two organic layers were combined and washed with water (2×150 ml), dried over anhydrous MgSO₄, filtered, and concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure. The residue was recrystallized in ethyl acetate/hexanes. 9.2 g of the pure product was obtained. 29% yield.

Boc-A5c-OH was synthesized in an analogous manner to that of Boc-A6c-OH. Other protected Acc amino acids can be prepared in an analogous manner by a person of ordinary skill in the art as enabled by the teachings herein.

In the synthesis of a GLP-1 analogue of this invention containing A5c, A6c and/or Aib, the coupling time is 2 hrs. for these residues and the residue immediately following them. For the synthesis of (Tma-His⁷)hGLP-1(7-36)NH₂ (SEQ ID NO:67), HBTU (2 mmol) and DIEA (1.0 ml) in 4 ml DMF are used to react with the N-terminal free amine of the peptide-resin in the last coupling reaction; the coupling time is about 2 hours.

The substituents R² and R³ of the above generic formula can be attached to the free amine of the N-terminal amino acid by standard methods known in the art. For example, alkyl groups, e.g. (C₁-C₃₀)alkyl, can be attached using reductive alkylation. Hydroxyalkyl groups, e.g., (C₁-C₃₀)hydroxyalkyl, can also be attached using reductive alkylation wherein the free hydroxy group is protected with a t-butyl ester. Acyl groups, e.g., COX¹, can be attached by coupling the free acid, e.g., X¹COOH, to the free amine of the N-terminal amino acid by mixing the completed resin with 3 molar equivalents of both the free acid and diisopropylcarbodiimide in methylene chloride for about one hour. If the free acid contains a free hydroxy group, e.g., p-hydroxyphenylpropionic acid, then the coupling should be performed with an additional 3 molar equivalents of HOBT.

A compound of the present invention can be tested for activity as a GLP-1 binding compound according to the following procedure.

Cell Culture:

RIN 5F rat insulinoma cells (ATCC-# CRL-2058, American Type Culture Collection. Manassas, Va.), expressing the GLP-1 receptor, were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) containing 10% fetal calf serum, and maintained at about 37° C. in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO₂/95% air.

Radioligand Binding:

Membranes were prepared for radioligand binding studies by homogenization of the RIN cells in 20 ml of ice-cold 50 mM Tris-HCl with a Brinkman Polytron (West bury. NY) (setting 6. 15 sec). The homogenates were washed twice by centrifugation (39,000 g/10 min), and the final pellets were resuspended in 50 mM Tris-HCl, containing 2.5 mM MgCl₂, 0.1 mg/ml bacitracin (Sigma Chemical, St. Louis, Mo.), and 0.1% BSA. For assay, aliquots (0.4 ml) were incubated with 0.05 nM (¹²⁵I)GLP-1(7-36) (SEQ ID NO:415) (˜2200 Ci/mmol, New England Nuclear, Boston, Mass.), with and without 0.05 ml of unlabeled competing test peptides. After a 100 min incubation (25° C.), the bound (¹²⁵I)GLP-1(7-36) (SEQ ID NO:415) was separated from the free by rapid filtration through GF/C filters (Brandel, Gaithersburg, Md.), which had been previously soaked in 0.5% polyethyleneimine. The filters were then washed three times with 5 ml aliquots of ice-cold 50 mM Tris-HCl, and the bound radioactivity trapped on the filters was counted by gamma spectrometry (Wallac LKB, Gaithersburg, Md.). Specific binding was defined as the total (¹²⁵I)GLP-1(7-36) (SEQ ID NO:415) bound minus that bound in the presence of 1000 nM GLP-1(7-36) (SEQ ID NO:1) (Bachem, Torrence, Calif.).

The peptides of this invention can be provided in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Examples of such salts include, but are not limited to, those formed with organic acids (e.g., acetic, lactic, maleic, citric, malic, ascorbic, succinic, benzoic, methanesulfonic, toluenesulfonic, or pamoic acid), inorganic acids (e.g., hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, or phosphoric acid), and polymeric acids (e.g. tannic acid, carboxymethyl cellulose, polylactic, polyglycolic, or copolymers of polylactic-glycolic acids). A typical method of making a salt of a peptide of the present invention is well known in the art and can be accomplished by standard methods of salt exchange. Accordingly, the TFA salt of a peptide of the present invention (the TFA salt results from the purification of the peptide by using preparative HPLC, eluting with TFA containing buffer solutions) can be converted into another salt, such as an acetate salt by dissolving the peptide in a small amount of 0.25 N acetic acid aqueous solution. The resulting solution is applied to a semi-prep HPLC column (Zorbax, 300 SB, C-8). The column is eluted with (1) 0.1N ammonium acetate aqueous solution for 0.5 hrs., (2) 0.25N acetic acid aqueous solution for 0.5 hrs. and (3) a linear gradient (20% to 100% of solution B over 30 min.) at a flow rate of 4 ml/min (solution A is 0.25N acetic acid aqueous solution; solution B is 0.25N acetic acid in acetonitrile/water, 80:20). The fractions containing the peptide are collected and lyophilized to dryness.

As is well known 10 those skilled in the art, the known and potential uses of GLP-1 is varied and multitudinous (See, Todd, J. P. et al., Clinical Science, 1998, 95, pp. 325-329; and Todd, J. F. et al., European Journal of Clinical Investigation, 1997, 27, pp. 533-536). Thus, the administration of the compounds of this invention for purposes of eliciting an agonist effect can have the same effects and uses as GLP-1 itself. These varied uses of GLP-1 may be summarized as follows, treatment of: Type I diabetes, Type II diabetes, obesity, glucagonomas, secretory disorders of the airway, metabolic disorder, arthritis, osteoporosis, central nervous system diseases, restenosis, neurodegenerative diseases, renal failure, congestive heart failure, nephrotic syndrome, cirrhosis, pulmonary edema, hypertension, and disorders wherein the reduction of food intake is desired. GLP-1 analogous of the present invention that elicit an antagonist effect from a subject can be used for treating the following: hypoglycemia and malabsorption syndrome associated with gastroectomy or small bowel resection.

Accordingly, the present invention includes within its scope pharmaceutical compositions comprising, as an active ingredient, at least one of the compounds of formula (I) in association with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

The dosage of active ingredient in the compositions of this invention may be varied: however, it is necessary that the amount of the active ingredient be such that a suitable dosage form is obtained. The selected dosage depends upon the desired therapeutic effect, on the route of administration, and on the duration of the treatment. In general, an effective dosage for the activities of this invention is in the range of 1×10⁻⁷ to 200 mg/kg/day, preferably 1×10⁻⁴ to 100 mg/kg/day, which can be administered as a single dose or divided into multiple doses.

The compounds of this invention can be administered by oral, parenteral (e.g., intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intraveneous or subcutaneous injection, or implant), nasal, vaginal, rectal, sublingual or topical routes of administration and can be formulated with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers to provide dosage forms appropriate for each route of administration.

Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active compound is admixed with at least one inert pharmaceutically acceptable carrier such as sucrose, lactose, or starch. Such dosage forms can also comprise, as is normal practice, additional substances other than such inert diluents, e.g., lubricating agents such magnesium stearate. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage forms may also comprise buffering agents. Tablets and pills can additionally be prepared with enteric coatings.

Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups, the elixirs containing inert diluents commonly used in the art, such as water. Besides such inert diluents, compositions can also include adjuvants, such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, and sweetening, flavoring and perfuming agents.

Preparations according to this invention for parenteral administration include sterile aqueous or non-aqueous solutions, suspensions, or emulsions. Examples of non-aqueous solvents or vehicles are propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, vegetable oils, such as olive oil and corn oil, gelatin, and injectable organic esters such as ethyl oleate. Such dosage forms may also contain adjuvants such as preserving, wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing agents. They may be sterilized by, for example, filtration through a bacteria-retaining filter, by incorporating sterilizing agents into the compositions, by irradiating the compositions, or by heating the compositions. They can also be manufactured in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved in sterile water, or some other sterile injectable medium immediately before use.

Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration are preferably suppositories which may contain, in addition to the active substance, excipients such as coca butter or a suppository wax.

Example I (Aib^(8,35))hGLP-1(7-36)NH₂ (SEQ ID NO:2)

The title peptide was synthesized on an Applied Biosystems (Foster City, Calif.) model 430A peptide synthesizer which was modified to do accelerated Boc-chemistry solid phase peptide synthesis. See Schnolzer, et al., Int. J. Peptide Protein Res., 90:180 (1992). 4-methylbenz-hydrylamine (MBHA) resin (Peninsula, Belmont, Calif.) with the substitution of 0.91 mmol/g was used. The Boc amino acids (Bachem, Calif., Torrance, Calif.; Nova Biochem., LaJolla, Calif.) were used with the following side chain protection: Boc-Ala-OH, Boc-Arg(Tos)-OH, Boc-Asp(OcHex)-OH. Boc-Tyr(2BrZ)-OH, Boc-His(DNP)-OH, Boc-Val-OH, Boc-Leu-OH, Boc-Gly-OH, Boc-Gln-OH, Boc-Ile-OH, Boc-Lys(2ClZ)-OH, Boc-Thr(Bzl)-OH, Boc-Ser(Bzl)-OH, Boc-Phe-OH, Boc-Aib-OH, Boc-Glu(OcHex)-OH and Boc-Trp(Fm)-OH. The synthesis was carried out on a 0.20 mmol scale. The Boc groups were removed by treatment with 100% TFA for 2×1 min. Boc amino acids (2.5 mmol) were pre-activated with HBTU (2.0 mmol) and DIEA (1.0 mL) in 4 ml of DMF and were coupled without prior neutralization of the peptide-resin TFA salt. Coupling times were 5 min. except for the Boc-Aib-OH residues and the following residues, Boc-Lys(2ClZ)-OH and Boc-His(DNP)-OH wherein the coupling limes were 2 hours.

At the end of the assembly of the peptide chain, the resin was treated with a solution of 20% mercaptoethanol/10% DIEA in DMF for 2×30 min. to remove the DNP group on the His side chain. The N-terminal Boc group was then removed by treatment with 100% TFA for 2×2 min. After neutralization of the peptide-resin with 10% DIEA in DMF (1×1 min), the formyl group on the side chain of Trp was removed by treatment with a solution of 15% ethanolamine/15% water/70% DMF for 2×30 min. The peptide-resin was washed with DMF and DCM and dried under reduced pressure. The final cleavage was done by stirring tire peptide-resin in 10 mL of HF containing 1 mL of anisole and dithiothreitol (24 mg) at 0° C. for 75 min. HF was removed by a flow of nitrogen. The residue was washed with ether (6×10 mL) and extracted with 4N HOAc (6×10 mL).

The peptide mixture in the aqueous extract was purified on reverse-phase preparative high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) using a reverse phase VYDAC® C₁₈ column (Nest Group, Southborough, Mass.). The column was eluted with a linear gradient (20% to 50% of solution B over 105 min.) at a flow rate of 10 mL/min (Solution A=water containing 0.1% TFA; Solution B=acetonitrile containing 0.1% of FTA). Fractions were collected and checked on analytical HPLC. Those containing pure product were combined and lyophilized to dryness. 135 mg of a white solid was obtained. Purity was 98.6% based on analytical HPLC analysis. Electro-spray mass spectrometer (MS(ES))S analysis gave the molecular weight at 3339.7 (in agreement with the calculated molecular weight of 3339.7).

The title compound (HEPES is (4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazine-ethanesulfonic acid)) can be synthesized as follows: after assembly of the peptide (Aib^(8,35))hGLP-1(7-36)NH₂ (SEQ ID NO:2) on MBHA resin (0.20 mmol) according to the procedure of Example 1, the peptide-resin is treated with 100% TFA (2×2 min.) and washed with DMF and DCM. The resin is then neutralized with 10% DIEA in DMF for 2 min. After washing with DMF and DCM, the resin is treated with 0.23 mmol of 2-chloro-1-ethanesulfonyl chloride and 0.7 mmol of DIEA in DMF for about 1 hour. The resin is washed with DMF and DCM and treated with 1.2 mmol of 2-hydroxyethylpiperazine for about 2 hours. The resin is washed with DMF and DCM and treated with different reagents ((1) 20% mercaptoethanol/10% DIEA in DMF and (2) 15% ethanolamine/15% water/70% DMF) to remove the DNP group on the His side chain and formyl group on the Trp side chain as described above before the final HF cleavage of the peptide from the resin.

The Boc amino acids used were the same as those in the synthesis of (Aib^(8,35))hGLP-1(7-36)NH₂ (SEQ ID NO:2) described in Example 1 except that Fmoc-Lys(Boc)-OH was used in this example. The first amino acid residue was coupled to the resin manually on a shaker. 2.5 mmol of Fmoc-Lys(Boc)-OH was dissolved in 4 mL of 0.5N HBTU in DMF. To the solution was added 1 mL of DIEA. The mixture was shaken for about 2 min. To the solution was then added 0.2 mmol of MBHA resin (substitution= 0.91 mmol/g). The mixture was shaken for about 1 hr. The resin was washed with DMF and treated with 100% TFA for 2×2 min to remove the Boc protecting group. The resin was washed with DMF. Myristic acid (2.5 mmol) was pre-activated with HBTU (2.0 mmol) and DIEA (1.0 mL) in 4 mL of DMF for 2 min and was coupled to the Fmoc-Lys-resin. The coupling time was about 1 hr. The resin was washed with DMF and treated with 25% piperidine in DMF for 2×20 min to remove the Fmoc protecting group. The resin was washed with DMF and transferred to the reaction vessel of the peptide synthesizer. The following steps synthesis and purification procedures for the peptide were the same as those in the synthesis of (Aib^(8,35))hGLP-1(7-36)NH₂ (SEQ ID NO:2) in Example 1. 43.1 mg of the title compound were obtained as a white solid.
